Henry Bouchet, Deputy CEO at Xelya
Transforming a sector as deeply rooted in its traditions as that of lawyers is a challenge that few dare to take up. But Henry Bouchet, managing director of Xelya, not only took up this challenge, he did it by completely reinventing the rules of the game.
In the last episode of the podcast The Cheat Code, we had the chance to dive into the fascinating world of this visionary entrepreneur. What he shares is much more than a corporate story: it is a philosophy, a look at the future and an innovative approach to the legal profession.
A company that breaks the rules: the opal organization
Chez Xelya, forget about traditional hierarchical structures. No managers. Here, each employee is fully responsible for their missions, working as a team to achieve common goals.
This approach, inspired by opal organizations, places trust and collaboration at the heart of everything.
In other words, Xelya is not just a business software company like Diapaz or a consulting firm for lawyers via Anomia.
It is a real laboratory for organizational innovation, where each individual is an actor in collective success.
Henry Bouchet: a player in the digital transformation of lawyers
But it is not only in its internal structure that Xelya stands out. Under the leadership of Henry Bouchet, the company has established itself as a key player in the digital transformation of the legal sector.
